- AJAndreaJLos Angeles •3 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoLovely place for brunch. Nice ambiance and nice place to watch the water at Mothers Beach. We brought my maltipoo who loved seeing the other dogs as we walked in. I asked for a chicken breast for the pup and they brought out a chicken and veggie plate. Loved it but Logan didn’t lol. Staff was really busy but food came out quick. You just gotta have patience and not be in a hurry. Tropical margarita was yummy. Forgot the name but it’s yellow and sweet.More infoBeachside Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Californian• Marina del Rey•4.7
- GGiselleLos Angeles •14 reviews4.0Dined on Feb 2, 2025Staff this Sunday was lovely. Our waitress & the hostess were way more pleasant than others I’ve encountered at the Waterfront before. I chose the buffet because it used to be really versatile but understand they’ve scaled back after the fires and not getting as much traffic on the boardwalk at this time. I think the $40 AYCE could go down some of the omelette station & prime rib is no longer thereMore infoThe Waterfront VenicePrice: Expensive• Californian• Venice•4.1
- LLeahLos Angeles •2 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 27, 2024Our server was very attentive. Food was reasonably priced and tasty. I had the fish and chips and I was worried that the batter was going to be too much, but it was not and it was perfectly battered. My husband had the jalapeño burger and he said that it was delicious. Our aunt had the fish tacos and they looked good too. Overall, I highly recommend if you’re trying to find a place to dine on the Santa Monica Pier. Sit on the 2nd floor outside so you can have a good view of the ocean and also people watch.More infoSeaside on the PierPrice: Moderate• American• Santa Monica•3.6
